Dee joined SBH Legal in 2023 and currently represents Oregon employers and insurers in workers’ compensation and related employment defense matters.
Before joining the firm, Dee worked for the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission. Dee is also licensed to practice law in Africa. Prior to moving to the United States, Dee practiced at a corporate law firm in Nigeria, where he specialized in mergers and acquisitions, employment litigation, and workers’ compensation.
Dee is from Nigeria, West Africa and speaks five languages. Dee has four law degrees and has a legal background in Africa, Europe, and North America. Outside of work, you can find Dee playing soccer or making spicy African meals.
Dee loves European football (as he loves to call it, “the real football”), and gets up at 4 am every weekend to watch his favorite team, Arsenal Football Club, play. Also, do not invite Dee on a ski trip because he will come down the hill strapped to a dolly.
